  What else would you need that these guys don’t provide. The food, accommodation is all great. What is truly outstanding is the service, it’s beyond. If you need special dietary cover ( eg one of our group is coeliac) everything has been covered, is exceptional and the chef is on it. It’s just great. Attached is Dive into raja Ampat, the resort and dive centre are two separate businesses but joined at the hip. The diving service is ‘princess’ in the extreme, how dare you wash your own mask! They also have better boats than most. The guides and boat staff are super. This place should absolutely be on your shortlist.

  What a lovely resort. We stayed two weeks and have left a separate review on the dive into raja Ampat site. The views are so beautiful we had a waterfront bungalow and spent time enjoying the views from our porch. We went to sleep with the sound of the sea, wonderful.|The owners and staff are so friendly, helpful and welcoming. Food is very good and varied freshly cooked every day. The water filters in the rooms were great ensuring you always had plenty of drinking water available which is a real plus. Overall an excellent place to stay and would recommend.

  I recently did my AOW course here. I highly recommend this place for anyone who wants to stay on the main Raja island. This place and its people, especially the dive crew, and dive sites like Melissa’s Garden have easily earned a place in my core memories and hold a special place in my heart 🫶🏼 I rarely give 5 stars, but this might be a case of “perfect imperfection,” so I’m rounding up, especially since they are a PADI 5-star center. First off, if you’re a princess, luxury-hotel kind of person, do yourself a favor and book a seafront bungalow. I booked very last minute (literally went to the resort), so they only had a garden-view room available at first. I didn’t like that room. It had light pollution (no proper blackout curtains and it faced the garden and paths with lights on all night), poor noise isolation, and honestly it wasn’t very clean. Overall, I didn’t enjoy that room. But I was lucky enough to get a seafront bungalow for one night, and that made a huge difference. I

  Be ready to get greeted with smiles, feel welcomed into the family of the owners whom invited us to join them in celebrating their 5th anniversary with a barbecue, live music and dancing. All this in a beautiful jungle-meets-turquoise-beach-setting. The personel is always at your service with a fresh towel, a drink, a snach or advice and so much more. I’d like to give special thx to the owner Peter and his wife, [Milkee], [Annah], [Atti], [Gobba] and their restaurant-team, also the dive-instructors Erick(who writes down what he finds!), Theo, Ricky, Nindi and their crew led by the hilarious yet spot-on character Song-Lee. (The rest was atleast just as ready to serve!) Also the english spoken was of an unseen level in the wide region. The place has melted my heart, the rest i will not spoil, you’ll have to go find out yourself. 🥰
